Ferrari vs Mehler vs Sioen: How to Compare Shade Fabrics

Serge Ferrari, Mehler and Sioen each offer multiple technical fabric products. A responsible comparison uses the exact product references and current manufacturer documents—not a blanket claim that one brand is always better. Noor Al Shams works with all three brands where a suitable product matches the project.

What should be compared product by product?
CheckWhat to confirm
ApplicationWhether the product is intended for the required parking or tensile system.
Weather protectionDocumented water, airflow and exposure characteristics.
AppearanceAvailable colour, surface and translucency where relevant.
FabricationCompatibility with panel, seam, edge and tensioning details.
Project documentsTechnical data, warranty terms and submittals for the exact product.

Why is a brand-only comparison misleading?

Product ranges within one brand can be designed for different purposes and cannot be treated as a single material.

A comparison is only useful when the application, product codes and required outcome are the same. The selected membrane must also work with the supporting structure and installation details.

How can Noor Al Shams help?

The team can review a preferred brand or named product against the project brief and agreed scope.

For consultant or contractor work, provide the required submittals and performance criteria. For owner-led projects, describe the desired weather protection, appearance and use so suitable options can be discussed.
